Helping volunteers exit gracefully
Helping volunteers exit gracefully: "Most of our organizations are highly dependent on the contributions of skilled and passionate individuals, and our lives would be much poorer without this. The surveys of giving and volunteering show that a high percentage of volunteer hours is contributed by a relatively small percentage of Canadians. Also, these people are often among the best donors. Making it easy for them to change how they volunteer, to take time outs, and to maintain good relationships with their organizations, should just be common sense."

Great point! There is an appropriate job for almost any volunteer barring a situation where conduct has mandated their resignation. Moving a person into a more suited role can be beneficial to the organization but more importantly give that person a larger sense of satisfaction and reward from their contributions. The best person to coach a volunteer into another position is always another volunteer. Identifying that person who can do the organizations bidding can be as good as gold!
